Peer Leadership Essay

It gave me a glimpse of what it will be like when I am a teacher someday, and I was able to share with a younger generation one of my passions. The week of the camp I worked for approximately thirty-five hours. The actual camp was twelve hours, and the rest was planning the activities for our classes. I was in charge of teaching voice and directing the play for the end of the week. It was a lot of hard work, and a lot of the kids were hesitant to participate at first, but in the end it was rewarding because when I see these kids in the community they see me and usually give me a hug or tell me how much they loved the

I led a group of first-year students on a rafting trip the week before classes started. That was an experience. For many of the students, this trip was their first time camping and being responsible for themselves. As leaders, we were pushing that we were just the leaders, not the guides and that they, as students, needed to be responsible for their stuff and be proactive regarding chores. I would say they almost got there by the end of the seven days. I was very proud of the community we fostered on the trip and how much the students supported each other throughout the course of the trip. We had many fun times on the trip, from playing flip-its with whip cream to extreme cross country bocce ball tournaments. I'm excited to lead another group next

Chino Hills High School has an amazing leadership and ASB program. The students and staff promote positivity in every activity that they host for CHHS. On January 11th, the Chino Hills High School leadership and ASB did an amazing activity where they invited another leadership group called CASL (California Association of Student Leaders). Leadership and ASB connected with CASL to help motivate some middle school leadership students who are incoming freshmen. The CHHS leadership students had an opportunity to not only motivate the middle students to become better leaders, but to also allow them to participate in some fun activities. They did many activities such as, wrapping themselves in newspaper and trying to create the best out of something

In general, my Camp experience was awesome! I enjoyed working with my CSN Camp Mentor Leslie Levit. Her approach and spiritual preparedness for the day was evident throughout the week. Leslie and I reviewed the Crystal Lake staff handbook, visited all locations on the Camp where the staff keep the Camp care kits, organized and replenished

Today was the first day of the 2016 Emerging Leaders program and discussed being proactive, the first step of the 7 habits of highly effective teens. We learned about how trying new things will help in becoming a successful leader. This is important for me as I am very reluctant to try new things, and if I tried new things more often, I will improve my leadership skills. We were also showed the difference between being reactive and practice and the idea that a stimulus creates a choice to a response and how to use that tactic when working on group projects, an example that the speaker used were Pavlov’s dogs. Since this was the first class, we also played introductory games as we could learn each other’s names as if we do not know the names of the people we are working with, how can we be effective leaders? The parts of the session that could have improved was to have an activity pertaining to the topic of being proactive, the games such as pass the ball memory game was a good introduction tactic but did not have to do with the session topic. I am very hopeful that I will learn very valuable information from the next 6 classes.

In my Junior year of High School, I had the opportunity to be a part of my school’s Leadership. There were seven students who were in charge of events, promoting, rallies, and school spirit. This required us to go above and beyond to make our school a better place.

It was an unforgettable life changing experience. I went from a cold hearted Atheist to a loving Catholic in one weekend and I have not reverted since. This was a turning point to who I am now the great Mr. Fab. I began my crusade of volunteering soon after and have not slowed down. Fast forward from the summer I lived the retreat to February of the following year to when I made the longest and strongest service project I have undertaken to this date. Since I was in Confirmation classes I understood that as part of the confirmation classes we should take part in service and use the guidance of the Holy Spirit to make thoughtful decisions. I took lots of time pondering what I should do for service and how I could positively affect other people in my own local community. After lots of thought and research, I decided I was going to be an Altar server at San Martin. Most people believe all an Altar Server is, is just an average teen who puts on a gown and plays a servant for an hour. To me it is more than a just an act you perform on weekends, it is the essence of being a Catholic. Being Catholic is more than being a follower of Christ by attending mass on a weekly basis,

Throughout my year as a PAL leader, I’ve seen girls on leadership like Kelly and Molly, and I’ve seen how hard they really work. Being a PAL leader is a lot of responsibility, and being on the leadership team is a role that requires a person to be fully dedicated and truly love PAL. I believe I have the characteristics needed to be on the team. Throughout this year alone I’ve seen many changes in my leadership ability. I’ve had to deal with different situations, I’ve had to be organized, helpful, cheerful, and be a person these girls can truly trust as a person to come to for anything.

The LifeSavers Retreat is a three day trip involving high school students from multiple schools, so I got to meet a lot of amazing people that I would not have gotten the chance to know without the trip. While I did enjoy the

Many disabled kids are not taken care of properly whether it is at home or school. However, the Peer Assistance Leadership (PALS) program can be a lot of help. To be involved in this program, a little funding is necessary due to the fees that are needed for training. This may be the reason why many schools try to avoid being a part of it. Budgeting can be an issue for some while prioritizing what is beneficial to others. The necessities that special needs kids are required aren't really understood to some people, nor is it considered important due to the fact that they are not educated on this subject. Nor are they aware on the benefits of the PALs program that will make a difference on the disabled kids and their students too. The students

I feel I should be selected to be a peer leader because it would be a great experience to work with first year students. Being a first year student myself you need to know that you are going through this transition alone and if you need a little guides that it’s always someone around to help you. At NCSU, I am apart of SAY which is a living learning village that travel to two locate elementary school each week to mentor young kids. Been in the SAY program can be beneficial to the organization because I have previously experience on how to mentor students and I have also learning that not all students respond the same way so you need to know how to adapt to different people.

The nominee who I considered displayed the character of collaborative leadership is a teacher who I was honored to work with during my student teaching. Mrs. Calloway is the lead teacher at David G. Sanchez Elementary, teaching 2nd grade and leads three other teachers in their educational endeavors. The methods she represents are all that collaborative leadership defines. The interview discussed: how collaboration is effective with those she leads? How parents are involved in supporting collaborative learning. The roles of the site-based decision-making committee. The importance of communication when practicing the collaborative process. The challenges that come up when utilizing the collaborative approach. Why might a professional move away

In class, so far, we have discussed many different topics about leadership. One being different leadership theories. The one that I feel most represents the leader I want to be in the future is servant leadership. When we discussed servant leadership it was defined as this leadership model is based on the leader and the followers wanting to serve others. Basically, this means the servant leader you put your focus on the needs of others before your own. The followers goal is to serve clients and the leader’s goal is to serve the employee and implement the organization mission statement. The leader supports other employees by noticing their goals and provide the proper support to help them reach those goals. This
